Sorry, my fault. I do get confused now and again. I should have said the Somme.
My grandfather fought in the trenches back then and I am currently trying to get hold of any stuff that would have been used during that time to help my own grandkids get a better idea of what he might have used weapon-wise.
Not sure what the legalities are about having such deactivated grenades or other deactivated weapons here in southern Ireland but I don't think we're as bad as you guys are experiencing.
Thanks Adam for that link. That Robert Hedger could be a very useful contact.
